Duck Wing sticks out

[peepnpato]

Hi! My ducks wing sticks out (see attached image) and I was wondering if there is anything we can do at this point? I believe it’s called Angel wing?
He is not in pain or anything but when the other duck pecks at it he cries. Should I be concerned?

He will need to be wrapped and that doesn't always work.

Thats "Angel wing". It happens when they grown so fast!

Heres a great right up on treating angle wing!

At that age if you wrap ASAP it should take care of it.

Thank you! I will wrap it today. About how long do you suggest I leave the wrap on?

Try for at least 3 days then unwrap if still sticking out wrap again. Usually a week or less if caught early when wing feathers are just growing out.

Here is another video how to.

Thank you all for the help! I tried wrapping a swimsuit material (nylon/spandex) on him but he kept shimmying it off. I think I am going to try the panty hose, but any other suggestions??
